SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR MULTI PORT CHARGER
WARNING: Death or serious bodily injury could result from improper or unsafe
use of multi port chargers. To avoid these risks, follow these basic
safety instructions:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
1. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual
contains important safety and operating instructions for multi port charger Model
UC18YTSL.
2. Before using multi port charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on (1) multi
port charger, (2) battery, and (3) product using battery.
3. CAUTION: To reduce risk of injury, charge only metabo HPT rechargeable battery types
BSL14 series, BSL18 series, and MV series. Other type of batteries may burst causing
personal injury and damage.
4. Do not expose multi port charger to rain or snow.
5. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the multi port charger manufacturer may
result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
6. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug when disconnecting multi
port charger.
7. Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise
subjected to damage or stress.
8. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper
extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock.
If extension cord must be used make sure:
a. That blades of extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as those of plug on
multi port charger:
b. That extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition; and
c. That wire size is large enough for AC ampere rating of multi port charger as specified in
Table 1.

* If the input rating of a multi port charger is given in watts rather than in amperes, the
corresponding ampere rating is to be determined by dividing the wattage rating by the
voltage rating–for example:
1,250 watts = 10 amperes
125 volts
9. Do not operate multi port charger with damaged cord or plug-replace them immediately.
10. Do not operate multi port charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or
otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a qualified serviceman.
11. Do not disassemble multi port charger; take it to a qualified serviceman when service or
repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
12.To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from receptacle before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning. Removing the battery will not reduce this risk.
13. This multi port charger might be attached to metabo HPT battery operated tools as a
standard accessory. In this case, please confirm Instruction Manual of the metabo HPT
battery operated tools before using the multi port charger.

The charge indicator lamp turns green when the corresponding rechargeable battery is fully
charged, and the buzzer emits a beep to notify the user.
The time taken to fully charge all batteries will be the total of the charging time for each battery.
In the example shown in Table 1, the time taken to fully charge the battery in port number
2 will be the total time taken to charge the batteries in port numbers 1 and 2 (32 minutes +
52 minutes = 84 minutes).
Tip
Rechargeable batteries you wish to use soon should be inserted in order from port number 1.
Multi Mode (Mode selector switch on)
All batteries will be charged simultaneously. The charge indicator lamps turn green when all
rechargeable batteries are fully charged, and the buzzer emits a beep to notify the user.
In the example shown in Table 1, it will take 152 minutes to fully charge all four batteries
simultaneously.

Total charging time 152 minutes
* Charging time will vary depending on the residual capacity of the batteries.
General points applying to both modes
○The battery currently being charged is the port indicated by the steady red illuminated
charge indicator lamp.
○Batteries that are hot immediately after being used or cold due to low-temperature
conditions take longer to charge, so they are skipped and charged after the other batteries.
○If charging is taking a long time, press the selector switch twice.
This resets the charger, reassesses batteries that are either hot immediately after use or
cold due to low-temperature conditions, and skips them before resuming charging.
Normal mode
○If a battery is inserted in a port with a lower number (i.e., higher priority) port while other
batteries are being charged, charging of the newly inserted battery will start after the
battery currently being charged has been fully charged.
Multi mode
○If rechargeable batteries are used before they are fully charged, the level of charging may
vary from battery to battery.
○Inserting a depleted battery into a vacant port while other batteries are being charged will
increase the time taken to charge all the batteries.

NOTE:
○The battery charging times may increase depending on the ambient conditions and battery
conditions.
The battery charging times apply to charging one battery on its own. When charging
multiple batteries, the total charging time will be the sum of the individual charging times.
○Charging time will increase if the ambient temperature is below 0°C.
5. Disconnect multi port charger from the receptacle.
CAUTION: Do not pull the plug out of the receptacle by pulling on the cord.
Make sure to grasp the plug when removing from receptacle to avoid
damaging cord.
6. Remove the battery from the multi port charger.
Supporting the multi port charger with hand, pull out the battery from the multi port charger.
NOTE:
Be sure to pull out the battery from the multi port charger after use, and then keep it.
Regarding electric discharge in case of new batteries, etc.
As the internal chemical substance of new batteries and batteries that have not been used
for an extended period is not activated, the electric discharge might be low when using
them the first and second time. This is a temporary phenomenon, and normal time required
for recharging will be restored by recharging the batteries 2 – 3 times.

How to make the batteries perform longer.
○Recharge the batteries before they become completely exhausted.
When you feel that the power of the tool becomes weaker, stop using the tool and recharge
its battery. If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric current, the battery may
be damaged and its life will become shorter.
○Avoid recharging at high temperatures.
A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after use. If such a battery is recharged
immediately after use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate, and the battery life
will be shortened. Leave the battery and recharge it after it has cooled for a while.
CAUTION:
○If the battery is charged while it is heated because it has been left for a long time in
a location subject to direct sunlight or because the battery has just been used, the
charge indicator lamp of the charger lights for 0.3 seconds, does not light for 0.3
seconds (offfor 0.3 seconds).
The battery will not be recharged. In such a case, let the battery cool before
charging.
○When the charge indicator lamp flickers (at 0.2-second intervals), check for and
take out any foreign objects in the charger’s battery connector. If there are no
foreign objects, it is probable that the battery or charger is malfunctioning. Take it
to your authorized Service Center.
HOW TO RECHARGE USB DEVICE
WARNING
○Prior to use, check the connecting USB cable for any defect or damage.
Using a defective or damaged USB cable can cause smoke emission or ignition.
○Use a connecting USB cable of less than 2 m.
○When the product is not being used, cover the USB port with the rubber cover.
Buildup of dust etc. in the USB port can cause smoke emission or ignition.
NOTE:
○The time required for charging will be longer when a USB device and battery are being
simultaneously charged.
○There may be an occasional pause during USB recharging.
○When a USB device is not being charged, turn the USB power switch OFF and remove the
USB device from the charger.
Failure to do so may not only reduce the battery life of a USB device, but may also result in
unexpected accidents.
○It may not be possible to charge some USB devices, depending on the type of device.
○The USB charging current should not exceed a total of 2 A for the two USB charging ports.
Doing so may cause the charger to malfunction.
